As a child growing up, my family often spent several
weeks in the summer vacationing in the north woods of Minnesota. I recall the small town
near where we stayed, the quiet lakes, the restful resort..... but most of all, I remember
walking alone through the dark forest. I remember the hours that I would spend hiking on
the shaded trails, never meeting anyone else, lost in the solitude and the silence. But I also remember that some of those trails didn't always seem so peaceful, in
fact, they were downright eerie. I remember that some of them were almost threatening and
left me with a sensation of dread and foreboding. I always wondered if something might be
lurking out there in the darkness of the forest?
It wasn't until I started hunting ghosts that I realized that something did!
